Teradata, the big data analytics company has expanded its partnership with MapR Technologies, a provider of Apache™ Hadoop to cover technology integration, road map alignment, and a unified go-to-market offering. The two companies are optimizing integration of the MapR Distribution within the Teradata® Unified Data Architecture™, providing customers more choices when combining Teradata’s best-in-class data warehousing with Hadoop, discovery platforms, and NoSQL options to drive analytic innovation.
The agreement also provides for Teradata to resell MapR software, professional services, and customer support and serve as the single point of contact for customers using both Teradata and MapR solutions.
According to a statement by both companies, orchestration capabilities such as Teradata QueryGrid ™ and Teradata Loom® will be directly integrated with MapR software.

The entire market is starting to realize that data is everywhere and an agile ecosystem is paramount. The marketplace demands the flexibility to meet specific needs and decisions are being made based on how well the ecosystem players are integrated.
John Schroeder, CEO and Co-Founder, MapR Technologies
Hadoop is a must-have technology, enabling sophisticated data warehouse users with means to leverage even more data. As companies move Hadoop into production environments, customers are choosing the MapR Distribution because it brings high performance and reliability to Hadoop – just like Teradata customers have come to expect from their integrated data warehouse and analytic platforms.
Scott Gnau, President, Teradata Labs
Customers who have invested in both MapR and Teradata solutions have requested integration, so now is the right time to expand our partnership. As customers continue to build out analytic architectures, they want flexibility and choice, and Teradata’s Unified Data Architecture is the most sophisticated and open big data ecosystem.
